This is a one term course for students who wish to learn about Te Ao Māori (The Māori world) and the language.
The junior Te Reo Māori programme encourages tauira (students) to learn useful language that will benefit their understanding and the significance of this taonga (treasure) unique to Aotearoa.
Tauira will learn how to introduce themselves, communicate, acknowledge and respond to others. Tauira will be given opportunities to implement the language learnt, in real life situations.
Tauira will also increase their vocabulary and learn correct grammar, explore whakataukī (proverbs), kīwaha (colloquialism), karakia, waiata, and other aspects of Te Ao Māori.
Te Reo Māori supports further learning and promotes the normalisation of te reo Māori in the areas of: broadcasting, journalism, education, arts, entertainment, business, tourism, hospitality, local and central government, health, languages, sports administration, marketing, management, law, corrections, public speaking, iwi development, volunteering, community services, farming and agriculture, primary industries, Treaty settlements, translating and interpreting services.
